There are three types of diorama photographs you can take:
- showing the whole diorama,
- showing a perspective of the diorama without the intrusion of peripherals (room walls, etc.),
- and cropped close ups of the detail.
I choose to went for the last option. Anyone who familiar with my blog knows I really enjoy close-up photography. Since I started the course, I been choosing different themes that involve close up shoots. On Level I - was still life, Level II come with a flowers and some black and whites, so yes I really trained my hand already so that’s why I wanted to finish with my favourite image style, but capturing something unusual.
It`s took me one whole day to take a set of photographs. Using available light and high ISO`s I did my best to capture the main part of all surroundings - as little stations, villages, tunnels and town was build all around the eaves. That’s how the place gets its name - Eavesdrop.
All photographs were shoot with my old friend Nikon D3000, using Tamron zoom lens in Macro setting, and also tripod.
The best twenty was selected for presentation, but below you will find the final 10.
Every picture has own story and if you look carefully you will see…

So that’s about it...my final ten for the theme II. Very hard was for me to choose. I had really lovely images of buildings and warehouse’s, breweries and town houses, but unfortunately I couldn’t include everything. Selecting little citizen photographs I was probably more thinking of a viewer’s, as much more suitable object for caching the attention.
I remember when I was young I went for lots of exhibitions for miniature world art. I was wishing someday I would build dioramas myself, just for fun - they were always amazing to me -my own little town where I could control anything that went on. This area, with so peaceful living , as I mentioned earlier, vas already build, so when taking the pictures, as keeping memory of unique person, who created such place, I tried to keep all untouched and I hope you too find this attractive.
As next important part of my work was all image post-processing. What can be more or less cheating to use a photo editing program to modify your pictures? But if you look from other side it is still takes a good photographer to take the image. Nothing much was done. After sorting them out I cropped them all 10 in by 10 in - went for a square as you guested. Adjust a bit of colour balance with help from Curves Auto tool in Photo Shop and put a little border around each photograph. It’s bring them all some sort of ordinary look - as little picture stories.
Didn't have to present my images I anyway print them out - all I one go on A3 paper. I have tree versions of my Ghost town, you decided which one you like the best.
